My son started here the first day they opened. I have been blown away with how above and beyond everyone goes to make every day special for him and his classmates. I don't think the kids realize they are learning as they play, as they make it so fun! They always have novel activities set up, with daily themes. I also love how they update us with what the kids are doing. The teachers are fantastic at giving each kid the attention they need. The campus is gorgeous and is brimming with creative opportunities. It is a pleasure to see my son blossom with their guidance.

Young Minds has been such an amazing preschool for our daughter. She wakes up excited everyday to go see her teachers and friends. We love all the cute activities the school plans for the kids, the nurturing teachers and have really loved connecting with all the other Westchester parents in our little community. Melissa, the owner has been great and the school has done a great job with Covid precautions. We love Ms. Sangmi and Ms. Tracey - they are very loving and nurturing teachers. We highly recommended YM! We love it!
